A rather eye-catching cosplayer walked over.
When Seiji noticed this and looked over, his eyes instantly widened in surprise.
A beautiful boy with long dark red hair and a silver-scabbard sword was an incredibly popular male side character in "Chronicles of the Demon Sword"! His name was … no, the first thing to pay attention to wasn't what he was cosplaying, but rather himself — Ryuuno Izawa!
He was Grand Mistress Kanna Fujihara's Spirit-branded Retainer that Seiji had met at the Winter Snow Festival party.
He was actually cosplaying!?
'This must have been requested by that Fujihara-san. ' Seiji immediately realized.
The red-haired handsome boy steadily walked over. Everyone in his path made way for him and took pictures with their cameras or cell phones. This was just like how an idol or famous actor would walk the red carpet.
Izawa ignored everyone else and walked directly in front of his target.
"Shiroya-san, we finally meet again."
Seiji blinked as he looked at Izawa.
"Izawa-san … how did you recognize me?"
The moment he asked this, he felt like he had asked a foolish question.
Izawa smiled faintly and indicated with his left eye.
"My master said that you would definitely come to this area, so she told me to wait here and observe the entire area."
"I see, but is there really a need to dress up like this?"
"This was my master's request."
"I think so as well." Seiji smiled and extended his hand towards Izawa. "Nice to meet you, Izawa-san. My name is Harano Seigo."
"Nice to meet you, Harano -san." Izawa shook Seiji's hand.
* Click click click … * There was a flurry of shutter sounds.
Seiji let go of Izawa's hand and scanned his surroundings. He noticed that many photographers, as well as Chiaki and the others, were all taking pictures of him, as if he was a celebrity meeting with reporters.
"Let's go somewhere quiet and chat," Seiji suggested.
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Izawa had an expression of wanting nothing more than this.
Seiji immediately indicated to the photographers to stop taking pictures. He then told Chiaki and the others that he was going to leave and that he would meet up with them later.
Chiaki's eyes were sparkling, Mika was curious, Kaori's eyes were sparkling, and Genji was excited.
The four girls watched as Seigo and the unknown handsome man walked away and remained silent for a while.
"I'm going to peek!" Genji clenched her fist and said in an imposing manner.
"You actually said it so bluntly …" Chiaki gave her a sidelong glance.
"Because I really want to see it! Don't you want to see it? I can't even imagine the scene of Seigo talking to that handsome man! "Genji clenched her fists and shook them up and down excitedly.
Your image is a bit ruined, Your Highness. Chiaki really wanted to say that.
However, she could understand his feelings. Even though she didn't know much about BL, seeing Seigo and that gorgeous cosplay man smiling face to face, her heart was a little stirred.
"I … want to see it as well!" Mika raised her hand to express her sincerity as her face flushed red.
"Me as well." Kaori also raised her hand, also blushing.
The three girls looked towards Chiaki.
Chiaki smiled faintly.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! "She led the charge.
…
"Harano -san, may I ask what you're carrying?" Seiji and Izawa left the photography area together. The latter looked towards Seiji's camera and other items.
"Oh, this is a livestream, but not for the general audience … please wait a moment."
Seiji spoke to Hana and Little Shi via voice chat before he turned off the livestream, covered the camera, and took off his earpiece.
"Harano -san … is he an internet streamer?" Izawa blinked as he asked.
"No, there's a reason why I'm doing this. Please don't mind it," Seiji told him.
After the two of them left the photography area, they walked to a relatively quiet corner.
"Fujihara-san must have gone shopping at the stalls."
"Yeah, Master is together with Wanhua's Grand Mistress."
"Having you wait in the photography area dressed like this really doesn't seem like her style."
"I feel the same way."
"This outfit seems to be of excellent quality, and the item as well … is that a real sword?"
"Yes." Izawa slightly unsheathed the sword at his waist and showed off its sharp edge.
He was actually using a real sword as a cosplay item. Seiji sighed inwardly.
But compared to the other location, using a real sword as a prop wasn't much at all. He looked towards Izawa's left eye.
The spell formation in Izawa's left eye had stopped spinning, which meant that Izawa was no longer casting any spells.
"Openly displaying [Astral Vision] in front of the general public, and even allowing them to take pictures! This … is a little too daring. "
"I objected to it before, but Master felt that it was fine," Izawa said helplessly as he took out an eyepatch and covered his left eye.
"Indeed, no one in that area will take it seriously, but if a Spiritual Ability user sees it …"
"It's not like this is a top-secret spell that can't be shown to others."
"That's not what I meant … but it's fine as long as you feel that it's fine."
"I feel that there's a huge problem. Master is the one who feels that there's no problem."
The two of them exchanged glances and then smiled in unison.
"Although it might be a little rude to say this, I feel that … Grand Mistress Fujihara is truly a girl who doesn't care about trifles."
"I will pass on this comment to Master verbatim."
"Don't be like that. I was just saying it casually."
"I was just joking as well."
"You actually know how to joke …"
"Of course, I can also perform 'Rakugo.'"
"Really!?" Seiji was astonished.
So-called "Rakugo" was a traditional art performance similar to stand-up comedy. Apart from a lively speech, it would also be accompanied by comical expressions and exaggerated movements. It could also be understood as a one-man skit or monologue.
In Seiji's eyes, Ryuuno Izawa was a serious and steady person, a loyal Spirit-branded Retainer and subordinate, just like Wanhua Summer Night's Shuho Hitaka, who had a personality that didn't seem to joke or make any funny jokes.
But he actually said that he knew how to perform stand-up comedy … whoops, Rakugo!?
This was such a huge contrast that Seiji was truly astonished.
Izawa smiled at his astonished expression.
"It's fake."
"Er …" Seiji was surprised to hear this.
"I have indeed practiced Rakugo before, but I haven't reached the level where I can perform it."
"You really practiced it before!?"
"I was joking as well."
"Er …" Seiji was surprised to hear this once again.
"It's so interesting talking to Harano -san."
"You … you're not joking with me, are you?"
"How could that be? I have great respect for Harano -san. In order to meet you, I dressed like this and stood in that area for so long for people to admire and take pictures of me, just like a monkey in a zoo. I don't have any complaints at all. I feel that as long as I can see Harano -san, everything will be worth it. "The eye-patched man smiled faintly.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
He sensed a dark aura! It seemed rather bad.
"Although I didn't tell you to do this, but … I'm sorry for making you wait for so long."
"Please don't say that. Although my master instructed me to dress like this, I volunteered to 'wait,'" Izawa said sincerely.
Seiji looked directly at Izawa.
"Harano Seigo is actually a fake name as well … no, it should count as my second name," he told him honestly.
"My real name, which is also my first name, is Haruta Seiji."
"Haruta …" Something flashed in Izawa's eyes.
